Reviews
My day to day sees me perform project management tasks such as subcontractor management, oversite over site works to ensure all works are done as per design. As well as this I look after tendering, planning, and procureing items for future works.
I feel like I am contributing to my community/country through the projects I am involved with, and that I am doing work that is meaningful to my own career development, the business itself and to society. I am also involved with a committee at work, so my role is not just limited to being an engineer; I also have other committee responsibilities.
Rail engineer mainly sitting in project or site offices doing site inspections, designs and verification type of tasks.
